Ingredients

4 ripe kiwis

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup crushed nuts (such as almonds or hazelnuts) or shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)

Skewers or toothpicks (for easy dipping)

Instructions

Prep the Kiwis: Start by peeling each kiwi carefully and slicing them into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Aim for approximately 10-12 slices, depending on the size of the kiwis you've chosen.

Freeze the Kiwi Slices: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the kiwi slices in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap. Freeze the slices for about 1 hour, or until they are completely frozen solid.

Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well in between, until it becomes smooth and fully melted, with no lumps remaining.

Prepare for Dipping: Take the frozen kiwi slices out of the freezer. To facilitate dipping, insert a skewer or toothpick into each slice, ensuring it is secure yet easy to handle.

Dip the Kiwi: Begin by dipping each frozen kiwi slice halfway into the melted chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before proceeding. For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the melted chocolate.

Add Garnish: Before the chocolate has a chance to set, dip the exposed edges of the chocolate-covered kiwis into your choice of crushed nuts or shredded coconut. This will add a delightful crunch and enhanced flavor.

Chill Again: Carefully place the chocolate-dipped kiwi bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Return them to the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has hardened completely.

Serve: Once the chocolate is firm, gently remove the skewers or toothpicks from the kiwis. Serve your Choco-Kiwi Bliss Bites immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer, where they’ll stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
